The Iowa Hawkeyes women's basketball program has locked in a marquee non‑conference contest that will see them travel to Sioux City to face Vanderbilt on November 15, 2026.
Both teams arrived into the previous season with impressive résumés; Iowa closed at 27‑7 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA tournament, while Vanderbilt finished 29‑5 and reached the Sweet 16.
A Strategic Non‑Conference Slate
The agreement also includes a home‑and‑home series with UConn, with Iowa hosting the Huskies in the 2027‑28 season and traveling to Storrs in 2026‑27.
These high‑profile matchups underscore the Hawkeyes' intent to test themselves against top‑tier competition as they build toward the next NCAA tournament cycle.
